INFORMATION ON ITEMS ON THE AGENDA

ITEM 4:

APPROVAL OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS' REPORT, INCLUDING DISTRIBUTION OF DIVIDENDS

In accordance with the Company's Articles of Association, Article 6 second paragraph, the board has resolved that the documents to be reviewed during the Annual General Meeting are published on the Company's web site. These documents are therefore not distributed together with the notice of the meeting.

The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting adopts a dividend payment of NOK 2.50 per share.

The Board's proposed allocation of the annual profit of NOK 1,551,016,000 this year implies that NOK 61,582,000 shall be transferred from other equity and that NOK 1,489,434,000 is paid as dividend to the Company's shareholders.

The Board of Directors proposes the following resolution to the Annual General Meeting:

The annual financial statements and annual report are approved.

Dividends shall be paid in the amount of NOK 1,489,434,000, equivalent to NOK 2.50 per share. The dividend shall be paid to the shareholders who are registered shareholders of Lerøy Seafood Group ASA as of 28 May 2024, as it will appear in the VPS-depository from 30 May 2024 (Record date). The shares will be traded ex dividend from and including 29 May 2024. The dividend shall be paid on or around 5 June 2024.

NOK 61,582,000 shall be transferred from other equity.

ITEM 5:

STIPULATION OF REMUNERATION TO THE MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS, AUDIT COMMITTEE AND NOMINATION COMMITTEE FOR THE PERIODS 2023/2024 AND 2024/2025. STIPULATION OF REMUNERATION TO THE COMPANY'S AUDITOR FOR 2023.

The Nomination Committee proposes to change the practice for the general meeting's stipulation of remuneration to the members of the Board of Directors, the Audit Committee and the Nomination Committee so that remuneration is stipulated for the period until the next Annual General Meeting.

Such a change will contribute to provide predictability both for those who are elected and for the company's work with the reporting on remuneration for senior executives.

For this reason, it is proposed that the company's Annual General Meeting for 2024 stipulates remuneration for both the period 2023/2024 and the period 2024/2025.

ITEM 6:

THE BOARD OF DIRECTOR'S REPORT ON SALARIES AND OTHER REMUNERATION TO EXECUTIVE PERSONNEL

In accordance with section 6-16b of the Public Limited Liability Companies Act the Board of Directors have prepared a report on salaries and other remuneration to executive personnel. Pursuant to section 5-6 fourth paragraph of the Public Limited Liability Companies Act the General Meeting shall cast an advisory vote over the report.

The report is based on the guidelines for the fixing of salaries and other remuneration to executive personnel which was approved by the Annual General Meeting in 2021 and is published on the company's website: https://www.leroyseafood.com/no/investor/eierstyring-og-selskapsledelse/.

It is proposed that the General Meeting endorses the report.

ITEM 7:

STATEMENT ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Board of Directors refers to the provisions of section 3-3b of the Norwegian Accounting Act which stipulates that reporting entities that are issuers in Norway and whose securities are listed in a regulated market shall provide a report on the principles and practices for corporate governance. The Board of Directors also refers to section 5-6 fifth paragraph of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act which stipulates that companies with a statutory obligation to provide such a report on corporate governance pursuant to section 3-3b of the Norwegian Accounting Act, shall also discuss this report during the Annual General Meeting

Lerøy Seafood Group follows the updated recommendation on corporate governance published by the Norwegian Corporate Governance Board and dated October 2021 (at www.nues.no). The recommended Code of Practice shall help clarify the distribution of roles among shareholders, board members and management, in addition to that required by legislation. The Code of Practice is based on the "comply or explain" principle which also forms the basis for the Company's report.

In the Board of Directors' report for 2023, the Board has described the Company's principles and practice for corporate governance, and the Board of Directors therefore refers to the description provided in the Board of Directors' report, and the separate chapter in the Company's annual report on corporate governance. The Board of Directors also refers to the fact that the Annual General Meeting is not expected to specifically approve the report, and that the report is for information purposes only.

ITEM 8:

ELECTION OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Election of Board of Directors:

ITEM 9:

THE BOARD'S PROPOSAL REGARDING RENEWAL OF

THE BOARD'S MANDATE TO PURCHASE TREASURY SHARES

On 23 May 2023, the Annual General Meeting granted to the Board of Directors a mandate to purchase up to 50,000,000 of the company's treasury shares, each with a nominal value of NOK 0.10. The purchase price must be no lower than NOK 1.00 and no higher that NOK 180.00 per share. The Board is free to choose the methods of acquisition and disposal. This mandate is valid until 23 November 2024.

It is the opinion of the Board that the Board of Directors should continue to have the right to purchase the treasury shares, and that the existing mandate should therefore be renewed, with a highest amount of NOK 180.00.

It is conceivable that situations could arise in the future where the Board will find that the market's pricing of the Company's shares does not reflect the Company's intrinsic values and that the Company has ample equity and cash flows, and that the Board finds investment in treasury shares attractive. The purchase of treasury shares in such a situation may represent an improvement in return for the Company's investors. Such purchases are also generally viewed as positive by the equity market because of the signaling effect they have with respect to the administration's expectations for the future of the company.

The possession of treasury shares will also provide the Board with greater flexibility for future growth with respect to future acquisitions, business combinations and the establishment of cooperative ventures.

Finally, the purchase of treasury shares may be used in connection with a possible establishment of general share savings programmes and incentive schemes, including discounted purchase of shares in accordance with the Norwegian Taxation Act, for the employees of the company and its subsidiaries.

The Board therefore proposes that the Annual General Meeting makes the following resolution:

  1. "The Board is hereby authorised pursuant to Section 9-4 of the Public Limited Liability Companies Act to purchase on behalf of the Company up to 50,000,000 shares, each with a nominal value of NOK 0.10. The lowest amount that shall be paid for the shares is NOK 1 per share, and the highest amount is NOK 180 per share.
  2. The Board shall be granted freedom with respect to acquisition methods and disposal.
  3. The mandate shall apply for 18 months from the date of the resolution.
  4. The mandate replaces the mandate to purchase treasury shares, which the Board was assigned at the Annual General Meeting on 23 May 2023."

ITEM 10:

THE BOARD'S PROPOSAL REGARDING RENEWAL OF THE BOARD'S MANDATE TO INCREASE SHARE CAPITAL BY ISSUING NEW SHARES THROUGH PRIVATE PLACEMENTS DIRECTED AT EXTERNAL INVESTORS, EMPLOYEES AND CERTAIN SHAREHOLDERS OF LERØY SEAFOOD GROUP ASA

On 23 May 2023, the Annual General Meeting authorised the Board of Directors to increase the share capital by up to NOK 5,000,000 by issuing up to 50,000,000 new shares through private placements. The mandate permitted the waiver of pre-emptive rights and included business combinations.

The mandate was not utilised in 2023. The Board finds it appropriate that an equivalent board mandate should be renewed, including the possibility for the Board to be able to derogate from the shareholder's preemptive rights. The Board expects to see continued restructuring and internationalisation in the Company's industry. Lerøy Seafood Group ASA will therefore continually assess the potential for organic growth, the possibilities for establishment of share savings programmes and incentive schemes for the employees, including discounted purchases of shares in accordance with the Norwegian Taxation Act, the possibilities for acquisition and business combination alternatives, and possible alliances that may enhance the basis for further profitable growth, both in order to capitalise on the values that have been created and to position itself for further value creation.

This Board mandate will afford the Company the necessary financial flexibility to be able to quickly obtain the necessary liquidity and/or shares that the Board finds necessary to be able to ensure further profitable growth.

The Board therefore proposes that the Annual General Meeting makes the following resolution:

  1. "The Board is hereby authorised pursuant to Section 10-14 of the Public Limited Liability Companies Act to increase the share capital by up to NOK 5,000,000 by issuing up to 50,000,000 shares in Lerøy Seafood Group ASA, each with a nominal value of NOK 0.10, by one or more private placements directed at the Company's shareholders, employees and/or external investors.
  2. The mandate applies for two years from the resolution date.
  3. The shareholders' pre-emptive rights to subscribe pursuant to Section 10-4 of the Public Limited Liability Companies Act can be set aside, cf. Section 10-5 of the Public Limited Liability Companies Act. The mandate applies to both contributions of assets other than money and/or the right to impose special obligations on the Company, cf. Section 10-2 of the Public Limited Liability Companies Act. Furthermore, the mandate includes a merger resolution pursuant to Section 13-5 of the Public Limited Liability Companies Act.
  4. The mandate replaces the mandate to increase the share capital through the issue of new shares granted at the Annual General Meeting on 23 May 2023.
  5. The Board shall be authorised to carry out the amendments to the Articles of Association necessitated by the share capital increase."
